Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (further discussed in Note 9 - Employee Benefit Plans) using the treasury stock method. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

	Year ended January 31,
	2015		2014		2013
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation	$	175,172	$	179,932	$	176,255
Weighted average common shares - basic	38,172		38,020		38,871
Effect of dilutive securities:
Equity-based awards	182		208		309
Weighted average common shares - diluted	38,354		38,228		39,180
Net income per share attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation
Basic	$	4.59	$	4.73	$	4.53
Diluted	$	4.57	$	4.71	$	4.50

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were zero, 6,236 and 9,456 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
